Nathan Abels
These atmospheric paintings by Denver artist Nathan Abels strongly evoke the sense of loneliness and urban solitude found in declining suburban developments across the U.S.
The images are snapshots of the particular, non-specific architecture of the suburbs, removing their surroundings and presenting them in isolation; sometimes including the empty streets where neighbouring houses were never built.
I'm very interested in the topic of suburban decay, and these paintings truly capture the suburbs' faded glory; the feelings of nostalgia that come with knowing that their best days are in the past. You can see more images at Nathan's Flickr account.
